Paintbrush / Castilleja miniata

Paintbrush / Castilleja miniata
This was such a bright Indian Paintbrush plant, taken on a hike at Gunnery Pass, Kananaskis, on 18th July 2009. For those unfamiliar with this species, the red parts are the bracts, the very small, narrow, green parts are the actual flowers. Came across it while I was saving another few folders of images to my external hard drive, so that I could delete them and give myself a bit of desperately-needed free space on my computer.

Thanks to Mark Egger, for the ID, Castilleja miniata - much appreciated!
